Emergencies don’t stop, and we won’t stop answering the call. As everyone is encouraged to practice social distancing, and in some cases, self quarantine. We, and all first responders, will still be going to work. We will still be here for YOU. We do ask, that if you or anyone in your house, has flu like symptoms, or have had them in the past week, tell our dispatchers when you call 9-1-1. Help us stay safe so we can continue helping you!

Over the past few years the Virginia Professional Fire Fighters have been working tirelessly in Richmond to pass better Workers Compensation Law. This year, we were successful. This week the VA General Assembly passed SB9 and HB783. What this means, is that firefighters across the Commonwealth, will no longer have the heavy burden of trying to pinpoint a specific incident in which they contracted cancer. Specifically being added to the list are Cancers of the Brain, Colon, and Testes. All types of cancers that it is know that firefighters are more likely to contract based on our exposure to toxic by products of combustion.
